Upgrading Redmine, quick and dirty: To use it append the download path for the Redmine zip file and the name of the current version (e.g. redmine-2.0.3) as parameters. You will probably need to adjust the BASE_PATH to reflect the path to the directory whe

DOWNLOAD=$1
PREVIOUS_VERSION=$2
ZIP_FILE=$(basename "$DOWNLOAD")
NEXT_VERSION=${ZIP_FILE%.*}

prev_version_path=$BASE_PATH$PREVIOUS_VERSION 
next_version_path=$BASE_PATH$NEXT_VERSION

# check if the version to update exists
if [ -d $prev_version_path ]; then
	echo "Version to update exists"
else 
	echo "Version to update does not exists"
	exit

# download redmine (the zip version)
wget $DOWNLOAD

# unzip the downloaded file
unzip $BASE_PATH$ZIP_FILE

# remove the downloaded file
rm $BASE_PATH$ZIP_FILE

# copy the files, configuration.yml and database.yml
cp -r $prev_version_path/files/* $next_version_path/files/

cp -r $prev_version_path/public/themes/a1/* $next_version_path/public/themes/a1/

# cd to new version
cd $next_version_path

# generate session token

# adjust permissions
